5 Things I Do On Linux To Make It More Secure
How-To Geek, Monday, May 12th, 2025
Do you install a lot of different apps on your Linux computer? Are you worried that one of these apps might have a virus or malicious code that steals your data? Well, here are five security practices I personally follow to keep my Linux PC safe from these threats.
Linux is a reasonably secure operating system, but it's not virus-free. This is especially true for someone like me who installs and reviews different apps and software. My security risks are higher as I can accidentally install something with sudo privileges that ends up compromising my system. Thankfully, with nearly a decade's experience in testing new software, I've developed a system to keep my Linux PC ultra-secure and virus-free.
